Three in existence in Australia mate. 23 is in a dismantled state at Richmond Vale Railway Museum, maybe one day to be restored. The other pair are 20 and 24 stored at Dorrigo. There is also an 8K on the Great Central Railway in England, which is identical, and in running order.

@pyrofella Richmond Vale is still operating and is in the process of restoring 10 class number 24 to operational condtion. Switching the boiler off number 30 and putting it on number 24.

I think there is only one ROD in existence now... unfortunately it's in the "graveyard" at Dorrigo Rail "Museum".....

The Robinson's are beautiful locos- easily one of my favourite ex-GCR types. Can the Bachmann model be converted to a Richmond Vale example?
